And again there were four. But just for a little while.

Four dogs again roam our home. It feels good in some ways, although of course the real void left can never be filled. We are hosting Blazer and Bill while their humans frolick at the Oregon Country Fair. Both are wonderful, fun loving and personable. They get along well with our dogs, but Bill and Marissa have a special puppy-like playful relationship, and are a joy to watch as they buck and fly all around the back yard in pursuit of one another.

Blazer reminds me a bit of an old friend, Akasha. It's all an odd pull of nostalgia, but at the same time sort of brings the past into the present and makes things feel more fluid, continuous and whole.
